Why hasn't the US media reported that the 16 year old in Utah who sharted shooting in a mall?

Why haven't the powers that be mentioned that the kid was a Muslim refugee from Bosnia? Why didn't they mention that the kid lived near a Mosque and attended faithfully? Why didn't they mention that the guy who shot up the Jewish women's center last summer was a peace-loving Muslim, Or the guy who drove his car into a crowded area in NC last year was a devout Muslim doing it all for Allah?
Why is the media afraid to mention these facts in their reports. On this day of Love, Why is it all that is reported is 'hate America talk' and dead hooker-like blondes?

Happy Valentines Day from the Truth!

Yes, I admit it was mentioned, but not given the attention that it deserves and it was hushed for at least several hours after it was discovered. I actually was referring to the worldnet news article, but this is not mainstream media is it?

Extra Blue Note...: Don't you see that we are hostages of political correctness. Why should we in America have to wonder what repercussions will happen when the truth is told? Behaviors and people are either part of the problem or part of the solution, PC is definitely part of the problem! I unfortunately agree that the words of the media-rites carry too much weight and potentially could have repercussions though

I don't really know myself. Maybe they didn't want to cause an uproar or offend any Muslims. Maybe being Muslim had nothing to do with it. Or maybe they think that by telling people this, everyone would begin to resent Muslims. The problem with this is that not all Muslims are like that. However, i don't agree with the Muslim religion but that's not a reason for anyone to resent hate them. But i do agree that they talk too much about Anna Nicole Smith. There are more pressing issues than her death that happened days ago! I'm so tired of hearing about her.

I live here in Salt Lake and didn't even hear the kids name until today. At first they thought in was a disgruntled employee from the mall. So. . . just chill and wait for it to unfold. His family was on the news and was absolutely shocked and saddened, they didn't know he even had access to any gun.
It's practically all the local stations are reporting and believe me they are presenting it as fast as they uncover it. Today we found out a guy turned on his cam corder and video taped some of it from inside. Each day we find out a little bit more. The boy came here when he was nine in '98. And again, we just found that out today. Believe me there is more to follow. Go to kutv.com (SLC news staton) to see the video.

This all has been reported by the news. It just hasnt been beat to death in the news. If it had it would cause hate crimes and killing against Muslims to increase. A good example of this is WW two when all the orientals in America were rounded up and put in camps just because of their race.

Where did you learn it if it wasn't in the media somewhere?? I live in NC and it was all over the media here about the guy at UNC. I can find lots of articles re: the jewish center attack and the perp being Muslim. For example:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14082298/wid/7279844 or
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/07/29/seattle.shooting/index.html

And for the Utah mall shooting:

among others.

Why do you think there's a conspiracy??
